On Wednesday, March 25, 2026, the parks and gardens of Boulogne-Billancourt remain closed in the afternoon. Facing severe wind gusts expected between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., the Hauts-de-Seine town hall has ordered the closure of all green spaces as a safety precaution. Reopening is announced for the Thursday morning, March 26, during the usual hours, subject to any changes in the weather conditions.
The measure covers all municipal green spaces. Among them is the Parc de Billancourt, a vast green expanse along the Seine opposite Île Seguin, the Parc Edmond de Rothschildd, laid out in the 19th century by the eponymous family and equipped with a riding center, and the Parc des Glacières, with its broad avenues and play areas. The squares are affected too: Square des Frères Farman, on Rue de Silly, and Square Léon Blum, near Boulogne-Pont de Saint-Cloud. Not to mention the Gardens of the Albert-Kahn Museum, a botanical jewel and an iconic city monument. The museum itself remains accessible.
This kind of preventive closure is far from trivial. In strong winds, trees can shed branches unpredictably, even those that look solid at first glance. The town hall also urges residents to limit their movements in public spaces, but also to avoid enclosed areas containing trees. A piece of advice to take seriously, even for the regular walkers in the nearby Bois de Boulogne, which, in this case, is not managed by the municipality but by the City of Paris.
To track how the situation is evolving and to confirm the reopening of the green spaces, visit the city’s official site at Boulogne-Billancourt’s official website or check the Boulogne-Billancourt Tourist Office page. In the meantime, postpone your stroll to tomorrow and stay warm.
